, SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. IG.-The last link
! In time chain ot evidence against Theodore
Durrnt' has been discovered A woman
who lives across the street from manuel
church has reported to the police that she
sai Durrant and Blanche Lament enter the
church at 4 :10 : o'clock ot the afternoon ot
April 3 , thl dry of Miss Lamont's disappear-
ance. The woman's name Is Mrs Ieake
and she lives at 124 Bartlett street. She Is
50 years ot age and has been a member ot
the church a number ot years She knew
both Durrant and Miss Lament Intmately
anti therefore cannot be mistaken with regard -
gard to the identity or either. She says I
'
she has remained silent since the discovery
ot the bodies ot tIme two girls because she
did not wIsh to undergo the annoyance ot
being ! a witness In the case , and did not consent -
sent to divulge her InCormaton to the police
until she became convinced that It was a duty
she owed to the state.
On Apri 3 Mrs. Leake sat at the window
ot her residence nearly all of the afternoon
looking for her daughter , wrlom she expected
to arrive from San Mateo. At 4 o'cloek
alma sa I a couple come up the street , one of
whom she instantly recognized as Durrnt ,
but at first she was JJlzzle over the identity
01 the girl. She first ought that the younl
lady was Lucille Turner , but as the coull !
came nearer lrs. l.ake recognized the girl
as Banche Lament Miss I.amontore a I
short school girl's dress and carried n package
of school hooks. The dress and trle school ;
books were afterward found secreted In the I
church I
Whe. the couple reached the church gate
they stopped for a moment , Durrant opened '
the gate and they passed throu h. Mrs.
Leake , from her point of observation , was
wat hlng them , and when the girl stepped
through t. gate she said to herself : "What
an Imprudent thing for her to do. "
Mrs. Lelw knew nothing delrlmental to
Durrant She had always considered hIm
"such an exemplary young man , " but notwithstanding .
withstanding that fact she thought I ex-
eeedlngl Imprudent for the girl to go Into
the church wih him alone. She feared some
one might have seen them and malI unpleas-
ant remarlls. She Imagined they had some
erraml In the church and expected In 1 few
minutes they would come out. She watched
carefully , but the gate did not open.
There Is only one entrance to gmanuel
church during the week , and that Is by the
side gate and ! rear door. ! rs. leake knew
the young people would have to pass through
the gate and she wanted to see them on
the street again before she left the wlnelow.
She waied a long time , but household duties
finally caVed her to another part of her fat ,
and she las oblped to give up the vigil.
Mrs. Leake's testimony completes the chain
of evidence against Durrant. Three school
girls saw Durrant amId Blanche Lament riding
on a Powell street car at 3:30 : of the day
that Miss V'niont disappeared. Attorney
Martin QuInlan saw time couple I few . .bloek
from" the" chicHreI' "minutes before 4
o'docll. Now comes Mrs. Lealte , who says
she saw Durrant and : lf8 Lament enter the
ehu'ch a few minutes later. George King
the organist , has already testified that he
entered the church about 5 o'elocll and saw
Durrant comIng down from the attic. Dur-
rant's hair was disheveled , his face was red ,
he was pant Ing for breath and was In a state
or utter physical anti nervous collapse. In
apswer to qulrles l he explained that he ha1 !
been engaged In repairing electric light
wires In the organ loft and had been overcome -
come hy g.\s. An expert electrician afterward -
ward examined the wires and testfed that
no repair of the nature Durrant claimed to
bave made had been made within six months.
